Current and previous works

Software engineer

I am currently working as tech lead for the mobile ticketing platform used by most public bus and train companies in the southwestern half of Denmark. My main responsibilities include technical planning, designing system architecture, codebase quality assurance, developer mentoring as well as actual software development.

Study group advisor

Students at Faculty of Science at the university are assigned to study groups with designated advisors during their first semester. As an advisor, I taught computer science students cooperative learning every fall semester for the last four years of my studies.

Teaching assistant

During the last semester of my master's studies, I worked as a teaching assistant for the introductory programming course at the department. I taught the fundamentals of modern object-oriented programming in Java for first-year students.

IT assistance

At Knowledge Lab I provided on-demand IT assistance for the small research center. Most of my work involved deploying and maintaining CMS systems (Drupal mostly) for various research projects, tech support and various conference work.

Teaching assistant

As a personal teaching assistant, I worked as a long-time mentor for multiple younger computer science students with various learning disabilities. Through one-to-one sessions, I supported their learning with their individual challenges in mind. My work was financed by the State Educational Grant and Loan Scheme (SU).

Co-founder

Guru Apps I/S

2012 - 2013

During my studies, I founded a tech startup with two of my co-students to build a learning management system for around 800 students at University of Southern Denmark. Some of the features of the system included announcements, a room booker, course information, a textbook marketplace and an interactive campus map.
